A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of a barn, farmhouse, or any variety of agricultural building.

This is a real photo postcard of a bank barn with a gambrel roof and roof-ridge ventilators. Next to the barn is a sturdy stone silo.

There's no name, address, postmark, or stamp box on the other side to indicate where or when the photo was taken. There is, however, a handwritten note that says, "Skin of a diamond rattler from Florida."

I had to take a closer look to spot it, but that's apparently the skin of a large eastern diamondback rattlesnake hanging on the gable-end side of the barn.

The street sign says, "Market Street," the glistening sidewalk suggests that it was raining, and the people are posing in front of a store that's displaying a bed, chairs, and other furnishings in the window.

Wow, the Gal Has a Plow!

Handwritten on the other side of this real photo postcard: "Fannie Kline."

The unique elements in this photo--the tilted orientation, massive stone house, little chicken/big horse juxtaposition, shadow people at the bottom, and unenthusiastic look of the woman posing with the plow--all combine to make for an odd yet amusing scene.
